ARG in Second Life?

Hi people,

do you know the ARGs in Second Life?
I mean, the multifunctionality of this system is great. And even if SL hype seems to pass, but SL exists and there are very interesting possibilities.

So do you know examples of SL-ARG? Or the locations?

Thanx in advance

Personally never heard of an ARG in SL to be honest Kos... Although I did join SL a while back.

Btw, one more post and it's your 1000th!

If I liked SL, I'd use it. Maybe I'll try to get over how boring it is and use it in one of my future games. Smile

SL is short for Second Life. If your question was about what Second Life actually is, here's a like to Wikipedia's article about it:

It would be cool! I found there plenty of strange worlds, perhaps constructed for special or normal things, but without knowing the context they were strange Smile

There was at least one ARG in Second Life: Discover Manoa

UF thread

Mind Candy Blog article on the game

Article about ARGs in Second Life (I don't know exactly what this one contains since I can't access it from work)

And I swear there was another one before this (around 2005 maybe?) but I can't remember many details and can't find anything in the archives (so maybe it is the Manoa game after all).

One of the Lonelygirl15 gamejacks, the one about the Cassie person, had a part in Second Life. I often still wonder who was behind that game...

There was an ARG-like thing for the movie "The Ni9es" that took place mostly in SL, methinks.

the thread for this one is [Trailhead] "The Nines" -- a casual cross-media game
and there was a write-up about it in the Second Life Insider. It didn't start out in SL at all, but had puzzles and clues in blogs and videos before leading into SL.
